PLEASANT WALK

We wanted to check a walk for the Parkinson's group.  It is one we have done before but starting from Vinegar Hill Road.  This time we drove just under 2 kms. to The Tikipunga Sports Field as there is now a new bridge linking it to the walk to Vinegar Hill.  

It is a lovely day and we came across Doug's oldest daughter walking three of her four dogs  (forgot to take a photo of them).  

Walking across the park



The lovely new pedestrian/cycle bridge (No motorised vehicles allowed)




Looking back at the bridge through the trees.




There were several horses along the route



We weren't sure what this (presumably native) tree is


When we got back to the park there were a couple of games of football being played.

  3. Always good to find a new place to walk, and so much the better when it's near to home. Those horses look well wrapped up for winter.

    1. We passed about 8 horses and they were all covered.
